Fault In Our Books. . .Not!

I bet many of you have seen The Fault in our Stars.  I can understand why, it is a great movie based upon an even better book by John Green.  Do many of you know of John Green?  If not please look him up.  This is his YouTube Page!  He is a fantastic author.  Although all of his books are a little sad.  I mean carry a box of tissues with you at all times when read his books.  Before he was a writer he was just a You Tuber!

One of John Green's most famous books is The Fault in our Stars.  The Fault in our Stars is about a young teenage girl named Hazel.  Hazel was diagnosed with cancer at a very young age and has been living with it for pretty much her whole life.  Because of her illness she is doesn't go to public school so she lost most of her friends.  Her parents convince her to attend a cancer support group; this is where Hazel meets Augustus (Later known as Gus).  Gus is a teenage boy who had cancer a few months previous but has since been cancer free.  Gus immediately falls in love with Hazel.  At first she thinks that he is messing with her because she does not consider herself pretty because of her condition.

Gus continues to surprise Hazel until she starts to fall for him also.  Hazel and Gus actually share there favorite books with each other so they can read them.  Now all my crazy book readers out there know that
this is a huge deal!  Books are pieces of our souls (Like Horcruxes!  We will get to that later).  Hazels favorite books is about a girl very much like herself.  She has cancer, or some other disease.  The book ends in mid sentence.  This interest Hazel because she knows that that must mean the girl died before she could finish writing but she is interested in finding out what happened to the rest of the characters.  After reading Hazels favorite book "An Imperial Affliction" Gus cannot stand the sending the ending.  He also understands it but he would like to find out what happens to the rest of the characters.  Hazel says
that it is her dream to meet the author and ask him her
questions.

After researching about the author Gus gets him to email and invite them to Amsterdam sometime.  Gus then uses his wish (the make a wish foundation) to take himself, Hazel, and her mother all to Amsterdam to meet the author.  When they get there not everything goes to plan but Hazel wouldn't have changed it.

As a warring to my readers this book is very sad!  Have a box of tissues with you when you read it.  Especially the ending!  If you have seen the movie you know what I am talking about. . . I cried.

This is a wonderfully well written book.  I am sure you will all enjoy it.  It does have a lot of little cute romantic things in it.  It is not just for girls.  John Green is one of those writers that everyone should read at least one of his books.  His books will become pop culture classics some day.  Like Harry Potter. . . but not.
